Sleeping Beauty (2011)

There are three Guerlain products on the round table besides Lucy (Emily Browning).

The jar with gold details on the left is Météorites face powder in pearl form.

Next to it, there’s a bottle of Guerlain Shalimar Eau Légère Parfumée, a 2004 evolution of the historical fragrance created by Jacques Guerlain and first launched in 1925.

On the right side of the table there’s a blue jar with a golden cap: it’s the Orchidée Impériale longevity light cream.

Disclosure Day (2026)

Margaret (Emily Blunt) is getting ready for work by sitting at her dressing table, on which we can see several products.

The lip product she’s applying is Pat Mc Grath Labs Lip Fetish Divinyl lip shine. She will wear it throughout the film.

On the left side of the table there’s a bottle of Bobbi Brown Weightless Skin foundation.

On the right side of the table there are some Glossier products —Lash Slick mascara and Cloud Paint seamless cheek colour.

When the camera moves, other two products can be seen. The jar with black cap is Bobbi Brown hydrating face cream, and the bottle with black stopper (just behind the light ring stand) is a Byredo fragrance.

When Margaret reaches her workplace (she serves as a weather reporter and meteorologist for the Kansas City news station KCXE), we can see another bottle of Bobbi Brown liquid foundation on a dressing table, along with a Bobbi Brown compact powder blush.

A few moments back, when she unexpectedly starts talking Korean, we can see the make-up artists hand her a tube of the Pat McGrath lip shine seen at the beginning of the film.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 (2026)

Lady GaGa is the main performer at the Runway event to be held at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan. There’s tension in the air: GaGa is performing only because Nigel Kipling (the magazine’s art director) threatened that she would never grace the cover of Runway again if she declined.

On the vanity there’s a bottle of Valentino Born in Roma eau de parfum, a woody vanilla fragrance created by Antoine Maisondieu, Guillaume Flavigny and Michel Girard, and launched in 2019.

On the left side of the vanity there’s also a bottle of Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech foundation.

Taking Care of Business (1990)

Debbie Lipton (Anne De Salvo) works at the Chanel beauty counter at I. Magnin luxury department store in Los Angeles. She may be loud and very chatty with her former high school classmate Spencer (one of the protagonists), but she looks very classy and professional at her workplace.

Besides her lovely Chanel black-and-white outfit, she’s surrounded by a beautiful selection of skincare, cosmetics and fragrances by the French maison.

Behind Debbie there’s a Chanel skincare counter. It’s impossible to tell what those glass bottles contained, but I’m pretty sure one of them was Lotion Douce (shown above in a 1978 advert).

Hard not to notice the huge factice bottle of Chanel Coco eau de toilette, an amber/warm spicy fragrance by Jacques Polge launched in 1984. The advert above, starring Inès de la Fressange, was released in 1989.

Right in front of Coco there’s a bottle of Chanel No. 5, the classic floral aldehyde fragrance by Ernest Beaux launched in 1921.

The white pump bottles are body lotion/body emulsion testers. Hard to tell what fragrance these were ancillary products of.

The atomisers in front of the pump bottles contained No. 22 (white atomiser) and No. 19 (steel grey atomiser). No. 22, a white floral fragrance by Ernest Beaux, was originally launched in 1922; on the other hand, No. 19, a green floral fragrance by Henri Robert, was launched in 1970.

A different angle reveals another factice – a massive black glossy case of Chanel Lift Sérum, an anti-aging product launched in the late 1970s.

There are also several black boxes, possibly containing compacts. Moreover, just below the oval mirror on the right there’s a Les 4 Ombres eyeshadow palette.

Debbie has helped Spencer (Charles Grodin) with his misadventures; before getting his privileged life back, he gives her a dalmatian puppy as a thank-you gift. I’m sure Debbie and the puppy will become best friends in no time.

Behind Spencer and Jimmy (Jim Belushi) there’s an interesting Christian Dior product. The front label is not fully visible, but I managed to identify this white pump bottle as part of the Capture skincare line, shown above in a promotional card from 1987.

Eleanor the Great (2025)

Eleanor (June Squibb) is 94 years old and is back in New York, after living many years in Florida. Adjusting to city life is not easy, but going out and keeping active will help her make new friends. I love that she still takes care of herself by getting manicures and pedicures, and by applying make-up whenever she goes out.

In the scene above, set in her grandson’s bedroom (temporarily her own bedroom), we can see a tube of L’Oreal Age Perfect BB Cover hydrating serum.

Later in the film, on the same desk seen previously, a drop bottle of Ilia super serum skin tint makes its appearance.
